“On behalf of my family, the Okehi Local government caretaker chairman and people of Okehi LGA, on this reassuring victory.

This victory is coming at a time when the Kogi people have embraced the All Progressive party (APC) as their party which they rightly voted for in all the National and State Assembly elections in the just-concluded General Elections in the state .

“This victory is for all Kogi people Irrespective of our tribes and Religion.
